This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Famous Footwear for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Back to school shopping is already upon us and for some kids have already gone back to school. How do parents stay within their budget when it comes to buying supplies, clothing, and shoes for this time of year? It can be a difficult task to do and sometimes can run way over budget. It is not impossible to stick within your back to school budget and Famous Footwear is making sure that you get more bang for your buck when purchasing your child's back to school shoe needs. Currently Famous Footwear is running a Buy One Get One Half Off promotion plus an additional 15% off of that.  Look at all that extra money you can keep in your pocket and use to buy other back to school supplies, or if you're a parent maybe treat yourself to a creamy iced cappucino on the first day back to school.

Using Social Media To Find Employment - My Plea

I figured I'd throw this out there onto social media, you never know what type of response I might get from it... could be a good one, right? As some of my followers know I was laid off over three years ago by a very large trucking company because after they went on a hiring frenzy they then realized their two companies into one public merge caused them to lost half their customers right after. I was low man on the totem pole, so of course I was laid off from their local terminal. I have found it very difficult since to secure solid full time employment in this area. It's not that my resume, experience, and education are not impressive it's who I used to work for that is causing the problems (not a well liked bad reputation company) I have a car payment, horses, credit cards, and cell phone bills to pay for. (I'm starting to lose my place in the water and seem to be slowly sinking) I can't very much pay for them when blogging isn't bringing in the money to pay them so I also have to look for a full time job.

Lock Up Your Gadgets Safely With Master Lock

With Back To School right on top of us Parents are not just concerned with buying supplies, but also how to keep their children's valuable gadgets safe as well. Every 53 second a laptop is stolen, that fact alone is astonishing to me. Schools now a days almost require that students have some sort of laptop or notebook, but as a parent how do you keep those items safe after spending your hard earned money on them? How do you, as a parent, keep your children's items locked up for a safe school year?
